Great info! Thank you!
I've taken my son and his cousins to Clipper Park many times, since they request it! They love it! It's a perfect park, especially for families who live nearby and can walk to it. The surrounding neighborhoods have access through several different walking paths-making it easy to get to. We've also been to the park to watch 4th of July Fireworks - which go over the Lake in Laguna Niguel.
**Please make note** In your above statement you wrote: "MAP to Clipper Cove Park in Laguna Hills" It should read: Laguna Niguel. Have a great day! Terri
